I'm not parting with them (yet) - they are the connect cables for some little portable USB - 2.5" hard drive enclosures. Bastard things, really - completely non-standard A-socket on the drive enclosure. The other end of the cable is a "Y" with 2- A-plugs so as to draw power from 2- USB ports on the host. But that does mean that they are available from *somewhere* . FWIW - these little hard drive enclosures came from eBay. One of those US $0.99 things with $20 shipping and handling tacked on *after* you've won the auction - shipping prices weren't stated up front.
